Bi ismillahir rahmanir raheem
assalamu alaikum
This person does not know islam and his "dont rock the boat" analagy
shows his ignorance. Simply becouse young muslim men are getting angry
has nothing to do with the teachings of Islam. "Dont rock the boat"
does not justify killing civilians, it does not justify suacide, it
does not justify jahaliyah (extreeme ignorance) of ones own religion
the only thing it does is show how little people are performing jihad
an nafs an obligation in islam which each person will be asked about.
If you are practicing your Islam properly Human qualities such as
patiance, perserverance, compation, understanding are the fruits of
your practicing islam properly. If you do not have these qualities in
you then youe worship is of little value.
Do you know what defines a muslim, it is that he still behaves like a
muslim when times get hard, this includes seeing the suffering of his
brothers overseas.
"dont rock the boat" is an ignorante description of sabr, if people are sincere about there
faith and not giving it mere lip service they will see every human life
as being precious to Allah.
Noah's Forty Clay Jugs
Everyone knows the story of Noah, peace
be upon him. He is one of the five greatest prophets of God. He called
on his people day and night for years, asking them to leave their evildoing,
to repent and return to love of God and His worship and to abstain
from wrong. His people rejected him repeatedly and scoffed at him.
As much as he preached they rejected his teachings.
However he was patient and continued to preach to them. They never
let up in their mockery of him. So it continued for years and years, and
Noah was persistent and patient. He did not tire of calling his people to
truth and goodness, and they in turn did not tire of scoffing at him.
This continued for decades, a century, two centuries, and Noah was
patient and persistent. Three centuries, four, five...
After nine centuries of non-stop preaching accompanied by endless
mockery and rejection, Noah reached his limit. Finally he asked God to
punish his people and to send a flood upon them and not leave a single
one of them alive. As he was a prophet of God, God was obliged to answer
his prayer. We know what came to pass.
Once some time after having been saved from the flood, the Lord
addressed Noah saying, "O my servant, I am asking you to go and
with your utmost care make for Me forty clay jugs." As he was an
obedient servant and a great prophet, Noah immediately went about
complying with this order. He gathered the finest clay he could find and spent
days and nights laboring with love to create 40 beautiful clay jugs.
After so much effort, the Lord then addressed Noah again saying:
"O my servant, now that you have made these forty jugs, go outside and
take each one
and throw it down upon the rocks." Noah, an obedient servant, had no
choice
but to obey. He took the jugs which he
had spent so much effort in making, and one-by-one smashed them against
the rocks.
Then the Lord addressed Noah, saying:
"Oh Noah, you made forty clay jugs, and it was odious to you to break them.
Do you think that it was a pleasure for Me to kill all of My servants, even
though they were unbelievers?" Then Noah began to cry and wail. So
proverbial was his wailing that "Nuh" came to mean "wail" in Arabic.
------------- Rasul Allah (sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Whoever knows himself, knows his Lord" and whoever knows his Lord has been given His gnosis and nearness.
